Here are some quotes from the panelists who spoke at the Amiwest banquet this evening. They were Bill Buck, Ben Hermans, moderator Kermit Woodall, Jens Shoenfeld, and Jeri Elsworth. Kermit: This is a great time to be in this community. We are getting new products.

Ben: Thanks for your patience. Thanks for waiting for OS4. There's new hardware just around the corner. 30 people [referring to Mai Logic] are working on the Amiga One hardware. I just came back from Fremont California where I had a meeting with some executives who had just returned from Taiwan. The Amiga One Lite is just around the corner. I'm very excited. There's no reason not to buy your Amiga One now. New things are right around the corner. There is modular work to be done to get OS4 on the Amiga One, things like serial device. These things haven't been done yet but it's not rocket science. Right now we are focused on finishing OS4.

Jens: I would like to talk about the Catweasel. It allows very low level access to a disk. The Catweasel may be able to read degrading, old disks. I am talking tonight about software for a change, the software we use for this. It's graphical, open-sourced, will be released for Windows first. Ports for Linux, MorphOS and Amiga OS should follow. Here's a diagram of low level magnetic flux transmissions.

Jeri: Three years ago I decided to make my own computer. I was fanatical about the C64 as a child. I took an early version of the computer to a C64 convention and the crowd went nuts. Jens assisted me with financial backing for my work and invited me to Germany where I spent 5 or 6 months creating the current board.

Q&A Session of Panelists at Amiwest : Comment 57 of 78ANN.lu
Posted by Darrin on 28-Jul-2003 10:20 GMT
In reply to Comment 54 (Alkis Tsapanidis):
>>Darrin... Sorry about that, but I have to say it... If you believe that there
>>IS an organised attempt against anything, YOU ARE AN IDIOT! And as I said in
>>another thread, you assume a lot. Me and A LOT of others,wouldn't even agree
>>to any conditions such as discrediting other products systematically. Yes, I
>>have said bad things about the AmigaOne. Does that mean that Genesi told me
>>to do so? If you believe so...

I'm sorry Alkis, but if you can't see that certainly LOOKS like an organsied attack then it's you who is the idiot. Perhaps you are not an enlisted member of the "Blue SS", but you're at least part of the "Blue Youth". You see, birds of a feather flock together and if you insist on nesting with the vultures then you're going to start looking like a carcass eating scavenger.

The facts are as follows:

1. People with no interest in OS4, Amiga Inc & the AmigaOne are CONTANTLY attacking the companies, products and supporters. Why?

2. When a news item that is pro-OS4/AmigaOne is posted, people feel the need to istantly attack the news article, pick it to pieces and attempt to manipulate the words to bring a whole new negative meaning to the text.

3. If one person happens to defend Amiga Inc/OS4/AmigaOne then the same gang of thugs appear from nowhere to attack the poster.

4. The vast majority of the people who post these attacks are self confessed Blue Camp followers.

5. The vast majorty of the Blue Camp followers who make these attacks are old enough and educated enough to know better.

6. Despite the fact that these attacks put MOS/Pegasos supporters in a bad light, Bill Buck refuses to ask these people to stop their campaign in public.

7. Despite the fact that these attacks put the MOS/Pegasos project in a bad light, Bill Buck refuses to distance himself from these attackers.

I could go on, but that will do for now. Chew those FACTS over in your head and tell me I'm an idiot...
